CHIRRIPO: A TRIP INTO THE UNIVERSE
COSTA RICA
march 2001
We left San Gerardo at dawn .... this was the view
The Gang is ready.  Its 5:20 am
Crestones from the back.  You can see people there
Chirripo is Costa Rica's highest peak a 3820 m osl..  It is protected inside Parque Nacional Chirripo, which is part of the national and international park system (La Amistad international park) in Talamanca range Costa Rica.  I had been there 10 years ago and could only remember the powerful sensation it brought of being very much a part of the Universe.  Its beautiful lakes, the various peaks, Crestones rocks, and the paramo vegetated valleys all made for an unforgettable trip.  Chirripo is definetely a trip for a life time.  After hiking over 50 km in 4 days, we could just desire to make our stay longer next time.
